Diva Davis Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

The first time we saw her was at a breeder in Texas. Mrs. Paula Schwing. Diva came from a long line of show dogs. She was only lllbs and I knew she was going home with us. No matter what! Her first bath was in the kitchen sink with baby shampoo. She got her name (or gave herself her name ) when she noticed her reflection in the oven door. It's like she could stop looking at herself. Almost like she was posing! Hence the name- DIVA. She was our baby.Our child. Our lives literally revolved around her. In Texas - she had her favorite places she loved to go to . Especially the lake so she could splash in the water and stalk squirrels. Loved to explore! We' d walk by any dirt path- and she just had to check it out ! Our friends would have pool parties and not just invite Diva- but she was on the top of the list before anyone else. They wanted to make sure she was accounted for to get that first steak off the grill! (Thanks Greg! ) She even made the funny papers. Literally! Presented in the comic strip, "Marmaduke". When we moved to Ohio- our goal was to find a house that would suit her...not really us.She loved chasing the rabbits and swim in the creeks. We found a really good doggie day care close by work. Dogs Rule. Run by Carla Eddey. They were a Godsend!!! She loved to go there and she went every week day. They considered her one of their own as well. She got the nicknames, "Mama D" and "Diva Las Vegas". They would go around and sing the Elvis song to her. We called her "Diva Fever" or just simply "D"and "Baby". The owner,Carla, had just recently lost her Chow. Diva could sense something was wrong and wouldn't let Carla out of her sight. She became Carla's therapy dog! She also loved Pet Supplies Plus, and put up a fit until I could get her inside. They too loved her and put up a memorial for her. She was with us for 13 years, 7 months, 21days and 41minutes. Not near long enough! All of our families and friends alike miss her so very much. She really had a personality that everyone loved, and she loved people. The house seems so empty now! I don't think I've ever missed someone this much in my entire life. She passed of heart failure on June 4th. Schoedinger took her in the very next morning. It's sad too, because my last image of her was on a gerny with her feet hanging off. An image I'll never forget- but will never forget all of the good images either. It's just taken this long to write about her, because my husband and I still have meltdowns- pretty much every day. She had such an impact on people's lives, and not just ours. She was and still is very special and always will be. We want to thank Schoedinger for their services. Her urn goes with us everywhere we go. We can't leave her at home by herself. It doesn't feel right. So off she goes with us. No matter where it is! We miss her; but I know she's with God and St. Francis in Heaven. Romping in the fields, swimming in the rivers and keeping loved ones already in Heaven company and entertained. With Sincere thanks to you and all of our family and friends, Jeff & Lee Davis
